'Effects bargaining' is one of the most complicated and least understood areas
of labor relations. Effects bargaining is frequently triggered when an agency changes a non-
negotiable policy or practice that impacts mandatory subjects of bargaining. Often, an obligation to
engage in effects bargaining occurs when an employer reorganizes unit work, or when an agency
consolidates, reduces, eliminates, automates, or contracts out services.

When an agency must provide notice to a union about a change in a
non-negotiable policy or practice.

How to assess 'reasonably foreseeable effects.'

What is involved in the 'clarification process.'

Whether an agency can implement a non-negotiable decision while
negotiating the effects.

Whether impasses on negotiating effects are subject to factfinding.

Training Approach

CALPELRA's first live video Webinar on the Affordable Care Act was extremely
successful, and CALPELRA builds on that model with a series of video Webinars featuring timely
labor relations topics and critical new issues that arise. To the extent the video Webinar format
allows, we continue using the training approach that has made CALPELRA's core Labor Relations
Academies the most highly praised and sought after public sector labor relations certification program in the United States.

Training geared toward most productive adult learning styles.

Advance reading and preparation.

Small group/interactive problem-solving.
